1) Is this a shock? I-70 and I-35 are major cargo routes, no matter what the cargo is.

2) How can your compare seizures in pounds? Nobody (to my extremely limited and not first hand) knowledge goes out and buys a pound a Heroin, not even dealers. If you did it in "street value" I'm sure you could make it look like no Marijuana comes through Kansas.

I just want to promote free in-city camping for a small percent of the population (lets say 1% or less). Granting special consideration to a small fraction of the population is what this whole thing is about isn't it?

So an elected body can chose a group of people that are exempt from having to follow the law? If I park my 5th Wheel next to the gazebo will I be allowed to ignore the law too? I'll be peaceful I promise!

Um, none of the above... The laws of this city should be in charge. If you (or anyone else) does not like it, you can lobby to have the law changed to allow camping in the park. That is your right. Welcome to America.
